If you're getting close to retirement, now is a good time to evaluate your situation and figure out how much income you may need after retirement. Check your accounts regularly, and see if you might need to boost your contributions in order to catch up.

When a therapy dog refused to drink at a San Diego grade school, it was the first clue that something was wrong with the water.

Tests revealed why the pup turned up its nose — the presence of polyvinyl chloride, the polymer in PVC pipes that degrade over time.

Maybe I've simply reached that time of life, but it seems that, all of a sudden, people I intimately know are getting sick and dying. Less than six months ago, my best buddy in college died after a long battle with bladder cancer. Soon thereafter, the wife of a dear friend passed away from complications from an organ transplant. Then, to legitimize the aphorism that bad news comes in threes, another close friend’s wife recently died of a heart attack. What did I do with all this bad news?

House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers (R-KY) announced that the cuts would be in place at IRS "until there are clear signs that they have fixed their broken bureaucracies, curtailed lavish spending on ...

Cindy Murray and Robert Williamson share the same father, but lost touch in the late 1970s, when they moved about 20 miles apart; Williamson was just 6, Murray eight years older, reports the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Murray, 51, went on to spend years searching for her little brother and only sibling, but unlike other such similar stories, Facebook, and the Internet in general, proved to be of little help.

In a Today show segment this morning, the star was shown receiving very optimistic and good news regarding her brain cancer. She said in March that "three months" was her life expectancy.

But based on her latest MRI in June, Harper, 74, is beating back the cancer for now. "I'd say that we're getting pretty close to a remission," neuro-oncologist Jeremy Rudnick is seen telling her and Meredith Vieira in a clip from a documentary that will air Sept. 19 at 10 p.m. on NBC.
